WILD ORCHID, 2bd / private pool - luxury, AC, WiFi, Placencia

Two Bedrooms Private Villa: Sleeps 4 people
2 bedrooms - 2 queen - 2.5 private bathroom – full kitchen – AC - living room – cable TV, telephone, WiFi, private pool, rooftop balcony...
This gorgeous two-bedroom Placencia vacation rental offers a waterfront location and luxurious amenities, including a private infinity pool, rooftop terrace, and even a boat slip. Newly constructed with sustainability in mind, this home features fantastic views of the bay as well as beautiful sights in every direction.
Located right on a marina on the Placencia Peninsula in beautiful Belize, this villa is perfectly situated for outdoor activities like snorkeling, ocean kayaking, and scuba diving. When you stay here you will be a short drive from nearby towns such as Placencia Village, as well as just up the road from the local airport, so you will have easy access to all the adventures the area has to offer.
With a modern style and spacious floorplan, you'll find plenty of space indoors and out to relax and reconnect with your friends and family. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of sunshine and allow views of the surroundings. Feel free to sit back, relax, and enjoy your vacation!
The living area has cozy seating and a cable TV for laid-back nights spent channel surfing. This home even has complimentary WiFi and air conditioning so you can stay cool and connected throughout your stay. Open up the glass doors and let in some fresh air, or keep an eye on the kids while they play outside from the comfort of the living room. This ground floor also has a half-bathroom for your convenience.
A full kitchen has a modern atmosphere and features all the tools and equipment you may need to cook up homemade meals during your visit. This kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including a large fridge and a dishwasher, and it even has a wall-mounted television above the sink! With plenty of room to maneuver and more enormous windows that let in light, cooking here will be a delight. And, with a four-seat dining room table and four chairs at the breakfast bar, there is plenty of space for everyone to sit down and enjoy a nice meal together.
There are two bedrooms in this home. The first bedroom, located on the ground floor just past the living room, has a cozy queen-size bed, a flatscreen TV, and windows to let in some glorious morning sunlight. An attached bathroom has a European-style shower (no tub) and a spa-like atmosphere. If you walk upstairs you will find the master suite, which features a lovely queen bed, another TV, plenty of closet space to store your belongings, and a huge number of windows that allow a birds-eye view of the scenery. This room even has its own private bath with double sinks and another shower.
Altogether, this home can easily accommodate up to four guests in its spacious and luxurious interior. Outdoors, there are also amazing spaces. Step outside from this upper bedroom to discover a gorgeous rooftop terrace. You will love to sit up here during the day and watch the beautiful cloud formations and the sparkling of the nearby water. If you come up at night, however, you will experience a whole new view complete with a stunning starscape clearly visible overhead.
You will also love spending time in your own private 30-foot infinity-edge pool, or relaxing on the lounge chairs by the edge of the water. There is also plenty of outdoor seating on the deck, so you can take advantage of the balmy weather and listen to some music from the Bose speakers that are both indoors and outside. There is even an outdoor shower so you can rinse off the sand from the beach before taking a dip in the pool or heading inside.
Perhaps best of all is a dedicated boat slip where you can keep a watercraft to explore the bay and nearby waters. During your stay at the Wild Orchid Resort you will have access to an on-site concierge service and 24-hour security, as well as transportation to and from the nearby Placencia Airport if you make arrangements beforehand
Around the Placencia Peninsula you can enjoy wonderful boating, kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving activities. With the lagoon on the west side of the peninsula and the Caribbean Sea on the east side, you will have miles of sandy beaches and gorgeous coastline to enjoy. This region is particularly well known for its diving opportunities, and you can explore the offshore barrier reef and search for varied sea life including colorful fish and maybe even a friendly group of manatees in the lagoon.
Drive south just five minutes to reach the tranquil and vibrant Placencia Village. There you can find markets, souvenir shops, and a range of other businesses. With so many restaurants in town, you may have a hard time choosing between authentic Belizean food from Wendy's, fresh seafood and cocktails from Rumfish, Italian cuisine from La Dolce Vita, and many more options. You could always get some ice cream from Tuttifrutti Gelateria and stroll along the pedestrian-only pathway through the center of town while taking in the sights, or head down to the public beach for a walk on the warm, soft sand.
If you like to seek out adventures during your vacation, this area is a fantastic place to start. You can take a boat ride or oceanfishing tour right from town, or you could rent a kayak or bicycle to explore the area yourself. For even more excitement, book a guided trip to the mainland of Belize, where you can go hiking through the lush jungle, visiting wildlife preserves, spelunking in the mysterious caves, or taking a look at history with a trip to some Mayan ruins. However you spend your visit, you will have no shortage of activities waiting for you here!
Treat yourself and your loved ones to the well-deserved luxury of this beautiful, private, waterfront Belize vacation rental and enjoy a tropical escape you'll never forget!

About Isabelle Gayot

At 32 years of age, I have been living in Placencia for the last nine years. After having grown up and studied hospitality in Montreal, I decided to move to Placencia in 2006 to assist my father in managing our property in Belize. We named it Wild Orchid, inspired by the property's natural orchid gardens, and by the national flower, which is the Black Orchid.

I am a lover of nature, a philanthropist, and a world-traveller. I have a passion for yoga and arts, and love to connect with different people from all over the world.

I take pride in our family business, we try to provide our guests with personalized attention, and 5-star service & hospitality. We have worked hard over the years to create what is now Wild Orchid Resort and Villas. This is my home, and I am happy to share it with you. My family and I welcome all our guests to relax, unwind, and allow themselves to simply BE... in beautiful Belize!

Isabelle Gayot purchased this villa in 2005

Why Isabelle Gayot chose Stann Creek

In 2004, the Habib family traveled to Placencia to see Belize's most beautiful beaches, and simply fell in love. They instantly felt a connection to the area's natural beauty, incredible seashore, warm tropical weather, and incredible people & culture.

Ten years later, Wild Orchid now owns and manages three of the most beautiful pieces of property in Southern Belize. From our beach, to our marina, to our private island, we have it all to provide our guests with the ultimate luxury Belizean experience. Through the combination of simple design, and luxurious interior and outdoor spaces, our vacation homes blend in perfectly with our breathtaking natural environment. With our 5-star amenities, and personalized service, Wild Orchid offers an exclusive travel experience, redefining luxury vacation in Belize.

What makes this villa unique

Our Marina Vacation Homes are beautifully situated on the stunning west coast of Placencia Peninsula, just north of the Placencia airstrip, and a short drive away from Placencia village. Our modern architecture features distinctive natural elements, including wooden trellises, Egyptian white shell stone, and European-style fittings. Our impressive modern and spacious interior-outdoor areas offer plenty of seating for lounging, sunbathing, and entertaining. Each Marina villa features its very own private infinity swimming pool, top-of-the-line appliances, fully-furnished kitchen, wifi, and air-conditioning.

Our traditional beach-front villa provides our guests with the privacy of their own 4-acre, beautiful sandy beach. With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious verandah, and sky roof deck, this beautiful house is truly a gem, tucked away in lush tropical gardens, perfectly situated in the heart of the Placencia Peninsula.

The Wild Orchid Resort includes on-site concierge service and 24-hour security, as well as transportation to and from the nearby Placencia airstrip that can be arranged prior to your arrival. Around the Placencia Peninsula you can take advantage of world-class scuba diving and snorkeling, as well as plenty of other water sports. With the lagoon on the west side of the peninsula and the gorgeous Caribbean Sea to the east, you could go fishing, kayaking, sailing, or simply strolling along the beach and taking in the beautiful sights.

Placencia is the best destination in Belize. Where you can enjoy sea and land adventure.

A quick five-minute drive south will take you to the friendly Placencia Village, where you can walk along the main street and gaze at the colorful buildings, do some souvenir shopping, and get a meal at one of the varied eateries, which range from homestyle Belizean food to fresh seafood to Italian cuisine. Placencia also has fantastic public beaches, and ferries that will take you to offshore islands or to mainland Belize.

If you like to seek out adventure, you may want to book a guided tour that goes farther into the diverse and exciting country of Belize. You could take a hike through the lush jungle while learning about the local plant and animal life, visit a jaguar preserve and see native tapirs and howler monkeys, go exploring or tubing through one of the many mysterious caves, or take an excursion to see the ruins of ancient Mayan cities. If that's not exciting enough for you, try a fast-paced zipline ride over the treetops for the most amazing views of the scenery

Discover a true slice of paradise here at this luxurious Belize vacation rental, with your own private waterfront villa offering modern comforts and world-class relaxation!
